Thank you for your reply. You ask me when was the last time I reset without restoring configuration, it’s been a long time. So I did a reset and the parental controls works. They stop working if I restore using the last saved configuration. So I guess the problem is some incompatible setting that’s been carried over. However, it occurs to me that I don’t need the web filter from Trend Micro as the DNS filters can essentially achieve the same functionality.Welcome to the forums @EE_Aaron.
What firmware was running before you upgraded to 386.9_0 final? Were the parental controls working well there?
Have you tried rebooting the router from within the GUI, waiting until it settles after it has rebooted, then testing again?
What other features, options, and scripts do you have running/enabled on your router? Do you have any USB devices plugged into the router? Are you using a USB drive for amtm and/or other scripts?
When was the last time you fully reset the router, after flashing the firmware you wanted to use on it, without using a saved backup config file (and without plugging in any USB drive that was used for amtm + scripts)?
How much free memory is showing available on the router? How much free NVRAM space? JFFS space? All of these may be clues as to why this isn't working for you today.
That is true. However, there is the issue with ISP dynamic IP address. You need update your IP address to OpenDNS to keep the DNS filters working. Unless there’s something I’m not understanding.You can more finely tune your DNS with OpenDNS customization via their webUI.
